It has been a long, hellish winter, for a variety of reasons, but the first sign of spring has arrived! Pitchers and catchers reported to major league baseball camps in Florida and Arizona yesterday, and have their first workout today. And just how great is that? Now that I subscribe to MLB.com, I will be able to watch every single Chicago White Sox game this season (as well as the occasional Chicago Cubs game, too, in desperate circumstances). Will this be the year the White Sox and Cubs meet in the World Series for the first time since 1908? And what of the Colorado Rockies? Will they be a contender? The best thing about spring training is that anything is possible, until the regular season starts, when cold hard reality begins to seep in. The above photograph, by the way, was taken on a very cold March day during a New York Mets spring training game in Port St. Lucie, Florida many years ago. The opponent? The final score? Lost in time, I'm afraid.
